And here are some reuploads of old dresses. My sister was pregnant when I began b.vikki vintage, so she couldn't model. But now her daughter, Amaya Grace is 5-months old and I'm bringing them both into the family business!

Oh thank goodness! Just last week I looked in your shop and was like, I want more stuff! I want stuff that will fit me (and that I can wear to a Mad Men season finale party because I'm a huge dork.) I hope this marks your triumphant return to the blogosphere. I missed you, girl.

About b.vikki vintage:

This blog features vintage advertising campaigns and fashion editorials from Black/African-American publications, video clips and found photographs featuring people of color from the 1950s-1960s, as well as product descriptions and pictures of vintage pieces I have for sale at my etsy.com shop.

Among the items available for purchase will be dresses, skirts, cardigans, shoes, bags, jewelry, and occasionally hats from the 1950s-1960s or fashioned in the style of that era.

I've loved vintage fashion for some time (and traditional jazz and pop standards, old movies, Doris Day, et al), and did lots of research before deciding to open a vintage etsy shop and start this blog, because I wanted to do it right. Something I noticed during my research, something that helped me to cement my decision, was the lack of women of color in the online vintage community.

So, not only will I be selling vintage clothing, but the pictures I post here, of beautiful women of color from the 1950s and 1960s, will give some idea of what we truly wore then.

My great grandmother, Essie O'Neal, and her brother, Norris Reed, Sr in the late 1940s.
